Save those broken drum sticks and used guitar picks!

Blink 182 is taking the idea of a presale and giving it a different twist. The presale offer for Blink 182?s new album Neighborhoods gives everyone the same chance at getting something pretty cool. Almost looks like a garage sale, lol. Seriously, for a fan this is some cool stuff. Maybe it’s time for you to clean out your closet and rehearsal room and use some of the stuff as incentives for a future presale. Remember you trash is somebody else’s treasure. From their website:

The blink-182 Neighborhoods Pre-Sale is unlike any other. Instead of having a ton of different bundle options at a bunch of different prices we have leveled the playing field so that even someone that has enough money to just buy a CD and T-Shirt for $19.99 has just as much of a chance to get something signed or personal from the band as anyone else. Each bundle that is purchased will come with a surprise Gift With Purchase.

What you get is what you get.
